Recent MoD Data Breach: Secure Your Rights

In recent developments, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has experienced a significant data breach involving the sensitive pay details of military and civilian personnel. This breach has exposed private financial information, leaving many individuals vulnerable to identity theft and financial fraud.

Our experienced legal team specialises in data breach claims and is committed to securing justice and compensation for those impacted.

The MoD data breach has potentially compromised the financial details of numerous individuals, potentially including:

• Bank account numbers
• Sort codes
• Salary information
• National Insurance numbers

Such breaches of sensitive information can lead to severe consequences, including unauthorised access to bank accounts, fraudulent transactions, long-term financial damage and most importantly increase security risks.
